So true, for I once provided 500 words detailing a character's appearance in a past CS. Not quite human of course and many additonal features requiring necessary explanation. Was not the clearest of descriptions, even with all of those extra words.

For Iona, the image linked above is the closest representation of what kind of attire I wished for her to have. I really like the overall color scheme of the entire outfit, which happens to be my greatest draw of attention. The leggings and the skirt are pretty close to something I would keep, possibly lengthening the skirt a bit more. The open top around the midriff could probably be covered up, showing no skin. Maybe this lower portion of the top could retain a light, almost silvery coloration as does a majority of the outfit. I think the sleeves are neat, but aren't truly necessary, if it came down to it. The head piece is interesting, though something I am still questioning. I keep imagining the headwear symbolizing dark thunder clouds. Having her hair in a pony tail would be an entertaining prospect, reaching just below her shoulder blades. Her silvery, luminescent wings taking the place of all that hair in the image, to both sides.
